Eight Months Pregnant

I’m eight months pregnant and on bed rest due to signs of preterm labor. I can’t work or venture to the grocery store. My boyfriend told me that he can’t stand me and I have pretty solid proof that he’s been sleeping with someone else.

A Relationship Worth Ending

Hi Queenie, my boyfriend for 7 years is now keeping a distance from me. My brother passed away last June.

I spent the past two years living with my ex-boyfriend (in MY house). Early on, I talked with his friends hoping for insight regarding his character/M.O./basically: is he a good person? I was placated with a mixed bag of life experiences including his wife who abandoned him and their 3 babies. My heart went out to him and I truly felt he was a good person. We had fun, he made me laugh, we never fought. I thought we were in love.
